I like Football (British) and as many of you will know support Aston Villa who I have followed for over 19 years now. I do go to matches, normally more away as I live up North at the moment
on avenrge I attend between 4-6 a season.

I am also a keen film watcher and like going to my local picture house to see a wide range of movies as well as writing reviews. Among my favourite directors are David
Lynch, Dario Argento, Ingman Bergman, Christopher Nolan, Michael Powell and Shane Meadows.

I like music and attending gigs whenever I can, some of my favourite bands are Pavement, Sleater Kinney, Sonic Youth and Belle & Sebastian, Laura Marling, The Moldy Peaches. Top Ten Ever Gigs (roughly) 1. PJ Harvey, Brixtion
2004, 2. Pavement, Brixton 2010, 3. Patti Smith, Brixton 2004, 4. Cat Power, Royal Festival Hall 2005, 5. Belle & Sebastian, Royal Albert Hall 2001, 6. The Fall, Peterborough, The Park, 2001
7. Radiohead, Birmingham NEC 1997, 8. The White Stripes, London Forum 2001, 9. The Moldy Peaches, Leicester 2002 (forget the value) 10. The Long Blondes, London Forum 2008.

Am into reading and writing, my favourite authors are Bret Eastern Ellis (not so much his recent stuff), Ian McEwan, Jane Austen, Tracy Chevalier and Juile Meyson.

Like TV shows such as sitcoms, favourites being things like Black Adder, Only Fools and Horses, The Office (both versions), 30 Rock and Cheers. Drama series amongst my favourites
are Buffy, the X-Files, Twin Peaks and The Sopranos.

Also like going Swimming whenever I get the chance.

Baseball, I love baseball. I pitched on our JV team this year (Only a sophomore), currently on varsity but not playing too much during the playoffs.

My hobby is work and my work is my hobby.

Apart from that, I'm a political junkie, who likes to watch MMA, not as much as I used to, but still watch most of it.

I play video games but never play online, since I don't particularly enjoy the people normally encountered there.

I like long walks on the beach, and flowers and I like women. Particularly Asian women fresh off the boat since they seldom talk back or have opinions. Because the last thing I want is a woman with an opinion.

Graphic arts, its a nice creative outlet that suits me well and something I'm thinking of pursuing as a back up plan if my plans for getting into creative advertising fall through.

Gaming, first started on the Super Nintendo and picked it up regularly when the PS1 came out. The industry still needs some work to do in the areas I want to make it a legitimate rival to its counterparts in the entertainment industry, but its still my favourite medium. I play online but I much prefer a fully focused single player experience.

Anime, its something I've been trying to get into over the last couple of years and something I enjoy, but I don't really know where to look for more quality series'. I've enjoyed Death Note, Samurai Champloo, a bit of Bleach, and Naruto (which I keep up with the manga for, even if its shit right now). I've been told to look into One Piece and High School of the Dead, I kind of prefer shorter series though.

I'm also a big fan of stand up comedy as well as a bit of philosophy because I enjoy lateral thinking.

I am a gear head and work on cars a lot. I also enjoy playing tennis and rec league softball as well as anything watersports related. I have two muscle cars, a truck and a jet ski and that is plenty to keep me busy. Other interests include weightlifting, target shooting with a variety of firearms, scuba diving, boating and jet skiing.

I like to read a lot and watch science shows. I was a space shuttle and NASA junkie as a kid and I still love watching documentaries on space exploration from the 60's through today. I watch a lot of sports, like MLB, NFL, NHL, but no basketball at all. My favorite network shows are Hawaii 5-0, NCIS, Wheeler Dealers, American Pickers, Pawn Stars and a few others.

American Sports mainly. Baseball crazy, love studying History and Prospects. Coach Freshman Football as well. Mostly just Wrestling and Sports. I guess that's normal when you have a Sport Management Degree.

Huge music buff - mostly hard rock and punk. Obviously RPer. Getting reacquainted with the pleasure of a good book (love crime novels, fantasy a la Potter/Game of Thrones, and some of the classics). Taking walks and getting to know new places. Somewhat of a wildlife buff too. And I do enjoy football (European) even if I seldom watch it anymore. I support Sporting Lisbon, my home club and my team of choice since I was 3/4, Man Utd, and FC Barcelona. And I retro-game - exclusively retro. Nothing online and very little post-2004 or so. I enjoy racers, sports games, platformers and beat-em-ups. Not big on strategy or RPGs.

Cardiff City. Through the highs and the lows. Follow them as often as I possibly can, takes up a lot of my weekends.

Snooker. Play regularly for my club and just for fun, like to think I'm pretty good too ha.

I drink too much. A lot of my time is going out to pubs, clubs and house parties.

That's pretty much it barring the norm, music, films, gaming and such.

I'm a College baseball player for SHSU, UFC fan, training in Kickboxing, and I fancy myself a pretty big fan of music - literally everything except for Country. Even some old country. Just not new country. Willie, Waylon, and Hank are all good to me, but Jason Aldean and Brad Paisley do absolutely nothing for me. I'm a fan of everything from The Rat Pack to Mozart to Bring Me The Horizon to Drake.

And even though I'm a baseball player, my favorite sport is Football and I'm a humongous Houston Texans fan, the biggest one I've ever met. Can't get enough Texans. My secondary team is The Packers, and as far as NBA goes, I dig the OKC Thunder and LA Clippers.

That's mostly it. I do GFX design. Kind of laid off of it, so I do it far less these days. I always sucked at making logos though.

I'm a sports fan and especially a huge fan of the Australian sport called 'AFL'. I am a passionate supporter of my team and have a membership and go to all home and away games and finals games which is about 25-30 games a year and at least 5 or 6 of them are in different states and I go to them games as well so I have to pay for flights there, accommodation, etc. It's a fun experience and you meet a lot of new friends.

I'm also a gamer on the occasion, used to be a extreme gamer who played a lot but now don't play as much. No games out that interest me atm tbh.

I love TV shows and movies. I watch more TV shows than movies and my fav shows are: Dexter, The Walking Dead, Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, Chuck, Jersey Shore, Family Guy and Prison Break - Prison Break and Chuck no longer air but I'm still a big fan of them.

UFC, NFL, NHL, and occasionally soccer as far as other sports interests go.

Bike-riding and rollerblading for outdoor activities.

Video games are my favorite past time. Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, GTA (All Rockstar games, really), WWE games, UFC games, Madden, NHL hockey, are just a few of my favorites.

I also enjoy documentaries and studying natural disasters. I would love to eventually document a Katrina-level hurricane in person, or maybe even a tsunami.

What position(s) do you play at SHSU?
